Todd and Julie Chrisley rose to fame as the stars of Chrisley Knows Best, the hit USA Network reality series that premiered in 2014.
The show followed the wealthy family's lavish lifestyle in Georgia and Tennessee, with Todd's outspoken personality, strict parenting style, and close-knit family dynamics becoming its trademark.
Over 10 seasons, the Chrisleys became some of reality television's most recognizable faces, with their popularity spawning the spin-off series Growing Up Chrisley, centered on their children Chase and Savannah.
As Todd and Julie continued building their television image, federal investigators were quietly assembling a case against the couple behind the scenes.
In 2019, Todd and Julie were indicted on charges including bank fraud, wire fraud, tax evasion, and conspiracy.
Prosecutors alleged that they had submitted falsified financial documents to secure more than $30 million in loans from community banks, using the money to fund the extravagant lifestyle showcased on television.
They were also accused of concealing income from the IRS and attempting to evade taxes through a series of fraudulent financial transactions.
After a three-week federal trial, a jury found both Todd and Julie guilty in June 2022.
